The device is portable and can be located directly on the arm of the user, specifically on the wrist and monitoring is constant, without the user noticing.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCION En la actualidad existe un problema muy grave relacionado con las mujeres gestantes y la tasa de embarazos fuera de los cascos urbanos que terminan en alguna complicación en el bebé debido a la falta de monitoreo de las madres en
su etapa gestante, ya que las mismas no se pueden desplazar fácilmente hasta la ubicación del médico para poder llevar sus controles de forma periódica y evitar inconvenientes que pueden llevar hasta la muerte. Es importante anotar que una mujer en embarazo se debe someter a continuos y constantes exámenes de análisis y monitoreo, con el fin de poder determinar la salud tanto de la mujer gestante como del bebé, ya que esta es una etapa donde se pueden presentar una pluralidad de inconvenientes y enfermedades, tales como preeclampsia, diabetes gestacional, etc., donde estas condiciones de salud se pueden corregir sin afectar al bebé o la mamá, siempre y cuando se detecten a tiempo, hecho que es muy complicado de realizar cuando se trata de sitios remotos fuera de las ciudades, bien sea por disposición de la mujer en embarazo o del difícil acceso a estas locaciones. Así las cosas, en el estado del arte existe una pluralidad de divulgaciones relacionadas con este tipo de dispositivos, dentro de las que se encuentra el documento CN 204379273, el cual describe un dispositivo portátil de detección de signos vitales para ser usado en mujeres en embarazo, el cual comprende un portador de ropa, un centro de sensado y componentes de sensado, donde los componentes de sensado se disponen en el portador de ropa de acuerdo con las partes del cuerpo humano a detectar y se utilizan para detectar datos de signos vitales de una mujer en embarazo que utiliza la prenda. El centro de sensado es
utilizado para recibir los datos de signos vitales detectados por los componentes de sensado y transmiten dichos datos a una terminal de usuario especificada por la mujer en embarazo. Del mismo modo, el documento CN 103417202 divulga un dispositivo portátil para el monitoreo de signos vitales del tipo para ser usado en la manilla, el cual comprende una unidad de procesamiento central, un módulo de interacción con humano, un módulo de comunicación, un módulo de posicionamiento, un módulo de procesamiento de señal y un detector de recolección de signos vitales, los cuales se integran en un dispositivo similar a un reloj de manilla. Así, el detector de recolección de signos vitales comprende una pluralidad de sensores de índice fisiológico, donde cada uno se dispone en el reloj en un modo de reemplazo desmontable o integrado. Ahora bien, en el estado del arte también se encuentra el documento CN 103948377 que enseña un monitor inalámbrico y portátil de signos vitales, el cual comprende un equipo de detección de terminal y un equipo de recepción inalámbrico, en donde el equipo de detección de terminal comprende un microcomputador, un módulo de adquisición de sensor, un coordinador de terminal, una pantalla LCD y un módulo de potencia; el equipo de recepción inalámbrico comprende un coordinador principal y un computador, en donde el computador suministra la energía al coordinador principal. El dispositivo es
utilizado para el monitoreo de temperatura corporal, pulso, tasa respiratoria y presión sanguínea de un usuario, donde dichos datos se procesan, se visualizan y se envían de forma inalámbrica a un dispositivo. Finalmente, se tiene el documento US 2010056886 que se relaciona con un monitor portátil de signos vitales el cual tiene una unidad de monitor de palma llevada por el paciente, en donde la unidad comprende una sonda óptica ubicada en la palma del paciente la cual mide por lo menos un signo vital incluyendo SpO2 y tasa de pulso pero no se limita a dichos signos sino que puede medir cualquiera. Así, los signos vitales detectados se almacenan en una memoria y se transmiten por conexión inalámbrica a una unidad de base de comunicación, la cual transmite los signos vitales por una línea de teléfono, LAN, Internet, interfaz serial o similares a un centro o dispositivo de procesamiento de datos. De acuerdo con lo anterior, se puede ver claramente que actualmente existe un problema relacionado con el monitoreo constante de los signos vitales y otras variables que son fundamentales y de gran importancia para mujeres gestantes, especialmente para monitorear el estado del bebé y poder detectar en una etapa muy temprana los posibles inconvenientes de salud, es decir, en la etapa en la cual se pueden tomar las medidas correctivas respectivas. Este problema se presenta especialmente en áreas de difícil acceso y en zonas rurales, donde las mujeres gestantes no tienen la consciencia de acudir al médico tratante para
realizar revisiones periódicas y preventivas, sino que por el contrario, se acude al médico cuando ya existe un inconveniente de salud y en muchos casos es irreversible, lo que causa serios problemas tanto en el bebé como en la mamá. A partir de la información anterior, también se puede ver que en el estado del arte existe una necesidad por diseñar e implementar un dispositivo portátil y autónomo para realizar el monitoreo constante de los signos vitales, los niveles de azúcar y demás variables importantes, en mujeres gestantes, en donde se requiere que el dispositivo sea de fácil uso, que la usuaria no lo note así no le incomoda, al tiempo que es importante que el dispositivo pueda tener una comunicación constante con una central o con el médico directamente para poder determinar si se requiere de algún proceso o tratamiento preventivo. Así mismo, es necesario que el dispositivo monitor cuente con algún tipo de comunicación directa con la usuaria con el fin de poder indicarle a ésta si los movimientos o la rutina que está llevando no es sana para ella o para el bebé, y en caso de presentarse inconvenientes no graves, se le pueda informar a la usuaria el procedimiento a seguir. Finalmente, es deseable que el dispositivo monitor cuente con algún tipo de sistema de posicionamiento, con el fin que en caso de requerirse asistencia, se pueda saber la ubicación exacta de la mujer gestante y así prestar los servicios médicos de la forma más rápida y adecuada posible.
De acuerdo con lo anterior, la presente invención resuelve el problema de una forma más eficiente, ya que corresponde a un dispositivo portátil inteligente para el monitoreo de las gestantes, el cual permite la comunicación constante entre el médico y la gestante, ya que se usa como una manilla o accesorio sin afectar con las funciones diarias, y cuenta con una serie de sensores que monitorean constantemente los signos vitales de la madre gestante, donde estos datos son enviados al médico directamente y se pueden rastrear mediante un módulo de GPS para poder llegar hasta la madre en caso de detectar una complicación o una situación delicada que pueda afectar con la salud del bebé o de la madre. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION At present there is a very serious problem related to pregnant women and the rate of pregnancies outside urban centers that end in some complication in the baby due to the lack of monitoring of mothers in its pregnant stage, since they cannot be easily moved to the doctor's location to be able to carry out their controls periodically and avoid inconveniences that can lead to death. It is important to note that a woman in pregnancy must undergo continuous and constant tests of analysis and monitoring, in order to determine the health of both the pregnant woman and the baby, since this is a stage where a plurality can occur of inconveniences and diseases, such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, etc., where these health conditions can be corrected without affecting the baby or the mother, as long as they are detected in time, a fact that is very complicated to perform when it comes to remote sites outside the cities, either by the disposition of the pregnant woman or the difficult access to these locations. Thus, in the state of the art there is a plurality of disclosures related to this type of devices, within which is CN 204379273, which describes a portable device for detecting vital signs to be used in pregnant women , which comprises a clothing carrier, a sensing center and sensing components, where the sensing components are arranged in the clothing carrier according to the parts of the human body to be detected and used to detect vital signs of A pregnant woman who uses the garment. The sensing center is used to receive the vital signs data detected by the sensing components and transmit said data to a user terminal specified by the woman in pregnancy. Similarly, document CN 103417202 discloses a portable device for monitoring vital signs of the type to be used in the handle, which comprises a central processing unit, a human interaction module, a communication module, a module of positioning, a signal processing module and a vital signs collection detector, which are integrated in a device similar to a handle clock. Thus, the vital signs collection detector comprises a plurality of physiological index sensors, where each one is arranged in the watch in a removable or integrated replacement mode. However, in the state of the art there is also document CN 103948377 which teaches a wireless and portable vital signs monitor, which includes a terminal detection equipment and a wireless reception equipment, where the terminal detection equipment it comprises a microcomputer, a sensor acquisition module, a terminal coordinator, an LCD screen and a power module; The wireless reception equipment comprises a main coordinator and a computer, where the computer supplies power to the main coordinator. The device is used for monitoring a user's body temperature, pulse, respiratory rate and blood pressure, where such data is processed, visualized and sent wirelessly to a device. Finally, there is document US 2010056886 that relates to a portable vital signs monitor which has a palm monitor unit carried by the patient, wherein the unit comprises an optical probe located in the patient's palm which measures by At least one vital sign including SpO2 and pulse rate but it is not limited to those signs but can measure any. Thus, the vital signs detected are stored in a memory and transmitted by wireless connection to a communication base unit, which transmits the vital signs via a telephone line, LAN, Internet, serial interface or similar to a center or device of data processing. According to the above, it can be clearly seen that there is currently a problem related to the constant monitoring of vital signs and other variables that are fundamental and of great importance for pregnant women, especially to monitor the condition of the baby and be able to detect in a very early stage the possible health problems, that is, at the stage in which the respective corrective measures can be taken. This problem occurs especially in hard-to-reach areas and in rural areas, where pregnant women do not have the awareness of going to the attending physician to Perform periodic and preventive check-ups, but instead, see a doctor when there is already a health problem and in many cases it is irreversible, which causes serious problems in both the baby and the mother. From the above information, it can also be seen that in the state of the art there is a need to design and implement a portable and autonomous device to constantly monitor vital signs, sugar levels and other important variables, in women pregnant women, where it is required that the device be easy to use, that the user does not notice it so it does not bother you, while it is important that the device can have constant communication with a central or with the doctor directly to determine if Some process or preventive treatment is required. Likewise, it is necessary that the monitoring device has some type of direct communication with the user in order to be able to tell the user if the movements or routine she is carrying is not healthy for her or for the baby, and in case of If there are no serious problems, the user can be informed of the procedure to follow. Finally, it is desirable that the monitoring device has some type of positioning system, so that if assistance is required, the exact location of the pregnant woman can be known and thus provide medical services in the fastest and most appropriate way possible. In accordance with the above, the present invention solves the problem in a more efficient way, since it corresponds to an intelligent portable device for the monitoring of pregnant women, which allows constant communication between the doctor and the pregnant woman, since it is used as a handle or accessory without affecting the daily functions, and has a series of sensors that constantly monitor the vital signs of the pregnant mother, where these data are sent to the doctor directly and can be tracked using a GPS module to reach to the mother in case of detecting a complication or a delicate situation that may affect the health of the baby or the mother.
